Chapter 703: Powerless to Stage a Comeback

Ruud van Nistelrooy had already left Nottingham and was undergoing his final preparations before his operation in America. 

No one knew if he could return to the pitch after the operation. It was also unclear if Nottingham Forest would still want the 34-year-old at the club when he returned. His current salary was relatively high and his contract was due to expire by the time he recovered and made it back to the team. 

The uncertainties surrounding van Nistelrooy's future left everyone feeling uneasy about his trip to America. 

Twain was the only one who forced a smile and comforted him. 

"Come back alive and kicking, I am waiting for you!" 

Van Nistelrooy's injury had further aggravated the team's woes. There was now a complete lack of attacking options on the team.
